Display Device and Method of Driving the Same

1. A method for driving a display device comprising: displaying an image on pixels of the display device; proceeding to a first charging period after a predetermined time from displaying the image, and determining in the first charging period whether a battery is charged; when it is determined that the battery is charged, proceeding to a burn-in correction period wherein characteristics of light-emitting elements in the pixels are obtained by detecting current values of the light-emitting elements by a current value detection circuit and by storing the current values into a correction circuit; and when it is determined that the battery is not charged, proceeding to a normal driving period wherein corrected signals transmitted from the correction circuit are supplied to a gate driver of the display device.

2. The method for driving the display device according to claim 1 , further comprising proceeding to a second charging period between the burn-in correction period and the normal driving period, and determining in the second charging period whether the battery is charged.

3. The method for driving the display device according to claim 1 , wherein a driving frequency in the burn-in correction period is same as that in the normal driving period.

4. The method for driving the display device according to claim 1 , wherein the current value detection circuit is connected to a power supply line of the light-emitting elements.

5. The method for driving the display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display device is incorporated in one selected from the group consisting of a computer, an image reproducing device, a phone and a camera.

6. A method for driving a display device comprising: displaying an image on pixels of the display device; proceeding to a first charging period after a predetermined time from displaying the image, and determining in the first charging period whether a battery is charged; when it is determined that the battery is charged, proceeding to a first burn-in correction period wherein characteristics of light-emitting elements in the pixels are obtained by detecting current values of the light-emitting elements one by one by a current value detection circuit and by storing the current values into a correction circuit; proceeding to a second burn-in correction period after the first burn-in correction period, wherein characteristics of the light-emitting elements in the pixels are obtained by detecting current values of the light-emitting elements for three pixels at a same time by the current value detection circuit and by storing the current values into the correction circuit; when it is determined that the battery is not charged, proceeding to a normal driving period wherein corrected signals transmitted from the correction circuit are supplied to a gate driver of the display device.

7. The method for driving the display device according to claim 6 , further comprising proceeding to a second charging period between the second burn-in correction period and the normal driving period, and determining in the second charging period whether the battery is charged.

8. The method for driving the display device according to claim 6 , wherein a driving frequency in the first burn-in correction period or the second burn-in correction period is same as that in the normal driving period.

9. The method for driving the display device according to claim 6 , wherein the current value detection circuit is connected to a power supply line of the light-emitting elements.

10. The method for driving the display device according to claim 6 , wherein the display device is incorporated in one selected from the group consisting of a computer, an image reproducing device, a phone and a camera.
